I think its only used when the regular node level is too large, then we
split it into smaller bits. SGI folks who run crazy large machines use
this.

/me mumbels about renaming the domain level, CPU is the physical socket
level, right? stupid names.

Patch sounds funky though, numa_child_level should be effident from the
tree build.
